10:17 pm
nothing else to do but sit around work, play cards, drink coffee. >> he does about, i'd say, eight to ten cups a day. tough habit to keep up with, the coffee habit. >> but on the outside, mcnee and his brother share far more dangerous addictions. >> on average day, i could spend anywhere from $300, $500 to $1,000 a day. >> on what? >> heroin, cocaine. i lived the life of an addict to the fullest and i'm embarrassed by it. >> drugs have had a hold on mcnee and bubanas since a young age and played a major role in their troubles with the law. >> when we're out there getting high, all we're thinking business the next high. scheming, plotting. what we'll do, how we're going do this, how we'll get that one. >> i'm like jekyll and hyde when i'm using when i'm not using hfl

10:20 pm
and it's just, for their safety and for ours. >> you guys feeling like a real criminal here. >> yo. hi, hi, hi. >> but even shackles can't totally stop violence. within minutes of their release, as peters talks on the phone, bloodworth attacks another inmate. >> break it up. break it up. >> within seconds, deputies have broken up the fight. >> [ bleep ]. get back. >> put this down. we're good. it's over now. central control, we have two

10:33 pm
left girls, right, boys. >> bubanas' 4-month-old daughter was born just before he came to jail. >> i was in the room. the most beautiful disgusting thing i've ever seen in my life, i think. when she came out, i cut the cord. my kid's mother held her first. and they passed her to me and it's weird how something -- how you can just meet somebody and already instantly have love for them. a love that you can't describe. would you do anything for them. and that's my motivation right now to get out and try to do the right thing for her. hopefully it works this time. hopefully do i something different. she deserves it. she needs her parents in her life, you know? >> today, bubanas is on his way to court where he hopes charges

10:35 pm
you never know what -- going out there to relapse in a few days and be back here within a few months? it's the unknown. you know what i mean? the probability of me going and returning to society doing the same thing i've always done is high, you know what i mean? the chips are definitely stacked against me. i want to change. i want to do something different. sometimes it's just tough. you know? >> a few hours later bubanas would have his chance for a fresh start. his charges were dismissed in court and he was set free. when the news reached ryan, he had some words of advice for his younger brother. >> nicholas, i wish you the best of luck. go out there and do the right thing. don't make the same mistake we always made. go home, go to uncle bernie's
10:36 pm
house, see your kid. don't be too anxious to get back here because you know what you'll get if you come back here. you know, do something for yourself. i love you, kid. that's it. the 700 people we have currently in this facility is roughly 75 or 80 that are constantly in trouble, constant rotation, fight, segregation, fight. constant loop. david peters falls into that category. >> after serving 30 days in segregation for fighting alongside his good friend dull shaun bloodworth, david peters was given another chance to live on a general population unit. it didn't last long. he joined four others in assaulting another inmate on the unit.
10:37 pm
and is now back in segregation. but he says the other guy is the one who started it. >> i guess he had an issue with one of my friends. he thought that the best way to handle it would be to try and swing on my friend. so, when we all seen that, we all reacted. first thing that we did, threw him on the floor, flipped him, started stomping his head into the tiles. we only could do so much because we're all in the way. i'm trying to kick him but my man is right there. trying to hit him. it's all, all crazy. it was crazy. yeah. he caught the worst end of it. >> hey, guys. >> deputy stangle will decide how many days peters must serve in segregation. >> you guys messed up yourselves the way we look at it. that was a one on one between that man and lewis. >> you know. >> i know. you guys all join in because you all play as a group.
10:38 pm
>> yeah. yeah. you already know. >> i know, i know. problem is we don't like groups. groups are bad. groups get people hurt. groups get people charged with assault and battery with in the facility. >> yeah, yeah. can't afford no more. >> you can't. >> i been here five months, i think i got in six fights, been in the hole six times. i mean, you got to fight. it happens. it's just instinct, you react. so, this is basically what happens. you hit me, i hit you back. you think about it after in the hole, you sitting there like damn. >> along with determining how many days peters must serve in segregation, deputy stengle must decide where to place him after the stay in segregation. >> he came into the building with issues and since being here picked up issues in the building that make it very difficult for us to house him here. you guys not start this fight but did you finish it.
10:39 pm
especially -- all right? so, what are we going to do with you? i can't guarantee it. it's not my end of the business. do i this end, the seg unit before i don't recommend that you go back to 24. >> peters has had major conflicts with at least five other inmates and the jail tries to separate likely combatants. >> that makes five units i can't put david peters on, considering i have 11 units it makes him difficult to house. >> i'm probably a headache to stangle. i get into fights. these people, these people, he don't know where to put me. everywhere i go, i'm gone. i'm going to start something. >> see that's the thing, i don't want to put my man in a situation where he's going to go somewhere else.
10:40 pm
>> very much like a soap opera, a lot of silly drama. you keep track the best you can. they do the time, go back to another general population unit. sometimes they make it, sometimes they don't. they come back here and i'm left pick up the pieces. >> stangle is on top of his game. he tries his best to -- who got problems with who, but, no way you can pinpoint everything. he's all right though. he's all right. end of the day we do get out of here, you know, i don't like -- >> coming up, delshaun bloodworth's life at the suffolk county jail makes a major detail. and ryan mcnee gets news from his brother. >> he's doing what he does, problem before i leave here he might be back here. who knows? n 6s.
